HDMI TV: If your TV has an HDMI input, use the provided HDMI cable to connect it to the soundbar's HDMI ARC TV Out connector. The soundbar will pass video from source devices connected to its HDMI Input connectors. If your TV is equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) Function, you can feed its sound to the soundbar via the HDMI ARC TV Out connection, and it will not require additional audio connections to the soundbar. The ARC signal is active when the HDMI TV source is selected.)

Subwoofer Pairing Button: Press the Pairing button to initiate wireless pairing between the soundbar and the wireless subwoofer. See the "Pairing the Units for Wireless Operation" section for more information.

Wall-Mount/Table-Mount EQ Switch: Use this switch to adjust the soundbar's equalization (EQ) for either wall or table mounting. If you're mounting the soundbar on a wall with the included wall-mount bracket, set the EQ switch to the "Wall" position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. If you are placing the soundbar on a table, set the EQ switch to the "Table" position for the most natural-sounding bass performance.

SOUNDBAR PLACEMENT

PLACING THE SOUNDBAR ON A TABLE If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. As long as the surface of the table is flat, the soundbar will rest on its metal feet. Set the soundbar's EQ switch in the "Table" position. See Soundbar Rear-Panel Controls and Connections.

1) Power 2) Wireless Pairing Button 3) Crossover 4) Power Input AC 5) Phase

Attention: Your JBL CINEMA SB450 comes with subwoofer

already paired from the factory, please refer to the subwoofer

connection section of this owner's manual only if you are

experiencing no audio output from your subwoofer after

connecting it to the power.

Wireless Pairing: Press this button to initiate wireless pairing between the subwoofer and the soundbar. The LED lights white continuously when the subwoofer is on and linked to the soundbar. The LED slowly flashes white when the subwoofer is on and the wireless link is not established between the subwoofer and the soundbar. The LED rapidly flashes white during the wireless pairing process.

Phase Control: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver's piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the soundbar. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers, some of the sound waves produced by the subwoofer or soundbar could be canceled, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of the speakers in the room. See the "Subwoofer Phase Switch" section for more information.

Crossover: This knob adjusts the subwoofer's cutoff between 40Hz and 200Hz.The higher you set the Cutoff control, the higher in frequency the subwoofer will operate and the more its bass will "overlap" that of the soundbar. This adjustment helps achieve a smooth transition of bass frequencies between the subwoofer and the soundbar for a variety of different rooms and subwoofer locations. See the "Subwoofer Crossover Control" section for more information.

WALL-MOUNTING THE SOUNDBAR If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wallmount bracket to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.

1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.

2. Hold the bracket against the wall as a template and mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The three holes should be evenly spaced 7-1/16" (18cm) apart, and the bracket slots are designed to accept 4mm screws. Make sure that the holes are at the same height. See the illustration below.

Mark Three Bracket Hole Locations 7-1/16" (18cm) Apart

3. Making sure that the bracket's flat side is against the wall, attach the wall-mount bracket to the wall at the locations you marked, using hardware that is appropriate for the wall's construction and materials. Note that the soundbar weighs 7.5 lb (3.4kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

Power Cord Connector Connect the included power cord here and into an active, unswitched AC outlet. See Power Connections for more information.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet until you have made and verified all other connections.

After reading the Connections section, connect all cables to the soundbar.
